    Has announced his - albeit expected - retirement.

    What more can you say than legend really.

    The news is flooding in thick and fast at the moment. Though i think everyone saw this one coming, still a quality player to the end, but his knees let him down. As you say. Legend.

    Paul <ok>

    He was and always will be my Fave united player ever! Legend doesn't say enough for me.
    He epitomizes everything that a true footballer and someone in the public eye should be. Always gave 100% sometimes not always cleanly(tackling <laugh> ), you never saw him in the newspapers, or slagging off other players, Never heard him argue about a contract and money, a dieing breed of players who played because they loved it.For a little man was good in the air, a thunderous shot on him, could spot a pass from a mile away. When Zidane, Figo and Xavi say he is one of the greatest player they faced it tells you something about the man. I hope he stays in the club in a coaching capacity, he has so much to share with the youngsters coming through the academies, What we would give for a young Paul Scholes in our team, enjoy your second retirement you deserve it.

    Dave where have these Benzema rumours came from? He can piss off, we wanted him before he went to Madrid and he turned us down, so he can do one for me!

  12. What's the situation with Giggs? Should expect another announcement?

    He signed a contract for next season in March, so unless Fergie leaving changes things, he'll still be around.

    agreed, now only Ryan Giggs will be at united season.

    End of an Era.

    Shows how time is going fast.

    Scholes is a legend, the best premier league midfielder.

    we won't see the likes of him again.

    a man that hardly talks but he does all his talking on the pitch. I just can't see how some rivals fans dislike him.

    Thank you Paul Scholes, i wish him all the best for his coaching career at united.

    Let's just say both are miles better than Gerrard, eh?

    Great player, wish him well. Wish we had another like him coming through.

    It's all sinking in now, Fergie will actually be gone. How mad is that?

    Today should be great, looking forward to the match and hopefully it'll be full of goals.

    Been thinking since early season Bale was destined for United, Giggs replacement, as for Ronaldo links, he said himself he was staying at Madrid, he was never coming back, that was the media 100%

    What can you say about Scholes that wasn't said last time he retired. <laugh>

    Cant for the life of me understand how some people can still claim Gerrard is better than Lampard. Lampard better
